M's New Daily M Girl Advice Column!

We have a BRAND NEW spin on the daily advice column on mmm-mag.com. Each day at 8:00 PM/EST we'll post a reader question and have our M Girl answer it!! Today, we're talking feeling intimidated by an older crowd!!

M Reader lola_101 asked:
I really look up to this girl who's 3 years older than me, but every time I'm around her I get so nervous and I don't know why! How do I make it stop?

And M Girl's answer is:
"You may be feeling that way because you admire her a lot and want her to respect and like you! That's all normal. But when you think about it, there's really no reason for you to feel nervous when you hang out with her. Do you know why? Well, because if she didn't like you, she wouldn't hang out with you to begin with! So, she obviously does admire you and like you back. She may actually feel nervous around you too (even if she doesn't show it). So, next time you hang out with her, remember that she's hanging out with you because she likes you as a person and because you're super-fun to be around! So, just be yourself and you'll be BFFs in no time!
